DESCRIPTION: The proposed study builds upon our NIDA-funded line of health-services research aimed at systematically isolating the effects of the various "Key Components" of a drug court as defined by the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP, 1997). In a series of randomized, controlled analyses, we have been studying the effects of different approaches to scheduling judicial status hearings in five adult drug courts throughout Delaware. Baseline recruitment and during-treatment assessments will be ending in one of those courts by August of 2001, and all of the stakeholders of that court have requested that we conduct a subsequent controlled evaluation of another core element of their program. In close collaboration with all of the court stakeholders, we are now proposing to randomly assign consenting misdemeanor drug offenders to receive either (1) negative sanctions for program infractions, (2) positive rewards for program accomplishments, or (3) both sanctions for infractions and rewards for accomplishments. Apart from the experimental manipulation of sanctions and rewards, the conditions will be identical. All subjects will receive the same treatment and case management services, the same schedule of judicial status hearings, and the same schedule of urinalysis monitoring. We will evaluate subjects' illicit drug use, criminal recidivism, alcohol use, and psychosocial functioning monthly during treatment and at 6 and 12 months post-admission to drug court, and we will monitor state criminal justice databases for 24 months post-admission. We have designed sanction and reward conditions that (1) are based upon empirically validated behavioral principles, (2) are representative of the types of sanction and incentive arrangements that are commonly used in drug courts, and (3) will be capable of continued implementation in the current drug court after the conclusion of the study. This study will further advance our efforts to subject "real world" drug courts to controlled, parametric analyses of the effects of their core services. By isolating the specific effects of various components of drug courts, we will determine the optimum manner in which to structure and deliver services for this promising intervention.

产品说明： 这项拟议中的研究是建立在我们的NIDA资助的健康服务研究的基础上的 旨在系统地隔离各种“关键成分”的影响， 全国毒品法庭协会（National Association of Drug Court） 专业人员（NADCP，1997年）。在一系列随机对照分析中，我们 一直在研究不同的方法来安排司法程序的效果， 特拉华州五个成人毒品法庭的身份听证会基线 招募和治疗期间的评估将在其中一个结束 2001年8月，法院的所有利益攸关方都已 要求我们对另一个核心进行后续的控制评估 他们的节目元素。与法庭上所有人密切合作 利益相关者，我们现在建议随机分配同意轻罪 毒品犯罪者将受到（1）负面制裁 违规行为，（2）对计划成绩的积极奖励，或（3）两者兼而有之 对违法行为的制裁和对成就的奖励。除了 实验操纵的制裁和奖励，条件将是 一模一样所有受试者将接受相同的治疗和病例管理 司法地位听证会的时间表相同， 尿液分析监测。我们将评估受试者的非法药物使用，犯罪行为 治疗期间每月一次的累犯、饮酒和心理社会功能 在进入毒品法庭后的6个月和12个月，我们将监测状态 刑事司法数据库24个月后入院。我们设计了 制裁和奖励条件（1）基于经验验证 行为原则，（2）是制裁类型的代表， （3）在毒品法庭上普遍使用的奖励安排，以及（3）将 能够在目前的毒品法庭继续执行， 研究的结论。这项研究将进一步推动我们的努力， “真实的世界”毒品法庭的控制，参数分析的影响， 他们的核心服务。通过分离不同成分的特定作用， 毒品法庭，我们将确定最佳方式，以结构和 为这一有希望的干预提供服务。
